By mid-1982, out of school and working part-time in a shoe store, Bon Jovi took a job at the Power Station Studios, a Manhattan recording facility where his cousin, Tony Bongiovi, was a co-owner. Bon Jovi made several demos (including one produced by Billy Squier) and sent them out to many record companies, but failed to make an impact.

"Habitat homeowners make a personal investment in their future by way of 'sweat equity' - working on their own houses, and those of others," continued Bon Jovi. "They ... repay a no-profit mortgage over time, so this is a commitment, not a hand-out, and I respect that."
